Trying to avoid the ever-so-popular pop/rock bands dominating triple j Unearthed at the moment, The Walking Who take their influence from the 60’s, in a soft, guitar-driven, psychedelic rock ballad that just screams Syd Barrett or Lou Reed. ‘With Roses’ really showcases the soft, chilling vocals of Rohin Brown and when paired with Paul McLean’s and Jay Drury’s bass and drum skills, produces a easy-going, surf song not typically expected of The Walking Who based […]

Stay at Home Son, the moniker behind Melbourne’s Jesse Martin-Allen, has released his self-titled debut EP. With distant, sultry vocals the EP washes over you like a half forgotten dream, with the beats lingering long past the listening experience. The EP has a polish to it that is hard to find on many debut releases. It doesn’t leave much room for development in this regard, but shows off the full capacity of Stay at Home […]

Romos has just cleared his Soundcloud of all but two tracks to get a fresh start for 2015. And his new track ‘Helios’ sounds like the creation of a much more experienced and technical producer. Rom Bartov aka Romos is just a few […]

THE KILLERS Getting to review bands is a pretty sweet gig. When it’s one of your favourite bands, that’s even sweeter! And when that band puts on one hell of a performance… well it doesn’t really get much better than that. As I walked into the Palace to see Vegas legends The Killers for the fourth time, I already knew I was in for another memorable show. The atmosphere in the air was absolutely electric […]

The chorus is an absolute belter, delivered with a confidence that would surely make these lads sound amazing live cant wait to find […]
